Would this work in shading part of a 15 ft long x 6 ft wide kennel run and attach all 3 sides to the chain link of the run ... or does it need to be attached to trees or the house, poles or other objects to be effective? Would I be better off buying a...

you could tie the already attached ropes at each of the corners to anything even the kennel but each side is only 9 feet (9x9x9'). It depends on your sun movement during the day whether this will work for you or if your dogs will be left in the scorching sun with no shade at some point during the day. Check it out during the day and then decide what is your best solution or shape you will need. Wolf Judy

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.

This is not the correct product for what you want to do (at least as inferred by your question). Search for a pet "trolley" such as this one: Four Paws Silver Heavy Weight 100 Foot Dog Trolley Exerciser Find the appropriate length main cable to tie off between your trees, then the appropriate length cable that attaches to the dog to cover the height of the main cable and a couple of extra feet for slack.

Full disclosure, its been 6 months or more since I completed my projects. But I'm pretty certain its 6 - 2ft sections. As I recall the instructions limit you to 10 sections. Once you cut a section, it ends the chain so the cut must be the last section only. There is also a package of connectors of different lengths that I found helpful in designing my installation. I found the adhesive works on vertical installations but on horizontal runs I needed to stable them up or the adhesive would eventually release and the lights sagged. With just a little planning, these are easy to use and result in a very nice installation. Full disclosure, its been 6 months or more since I completed my projects.

You should have no problem folding it over and making it a 3' fence. I just installed it on a 4' fence and used zip ties through the mesh at the 2' and 3' levels to prevent the wind from ballooning the mesh. I used the smallest sized ties so that they would penetrate the mesh easily although the next larger sized tie would work ok I think.

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

I attached one of those dog fences to the front. the bottom door opening is right below the top door opening and I surrounded the whole front with the dog gate (in a semi-circle) and then put mesh on the top. I think you would have to cut the bottom side open if you wanted a run on the hutch side.

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

We attached it to just one regular umbrella pole, nothing else. We use it to shade our front door and use no other tie downs. It works like a charm!

Yuppin, each panel attaches individually to the next one, so you can configure any way you like. The top supports stretch width-wise over a 4' space. As long as width is 4', you should not have a problem lengthening unit as puppy grows. Its been over 3 yrs now and my unit is as good as day we put it together. Elements do not harm wire. If stiched tarp does not work over 4x4 you can easily find a smaller square waterproof tarp - 5x5 or 6x6 and use bungy cords to attach thru grommets. Then keep larger tarp for when you've reached 4x8 size.

funny you should ask that... I used this coop as designed for a few months with no problems. Later, my chickens were in a shed-turned-coop (much bigger), and I just used the "run" part of this as a little shelter in their run and hung a waterer in there. The coop was also sitting out separately as just an extra shelter they could use in the run. We recently had some strong winds, and both things were totally blown over. However, this was when separate, so I think that is worse. Also, really, you probably could anchor this down if you just put some strong wire through the hardware cloth around the bottom edges & over the wooden bars and then staked those down with something - maybe not a bad idea if you get strong winds like I do.

The more I have read about mounting the panels to a shingled roof like mine, I have decided against it. I have chosen to mount on a pole. There are 2 types that support this panels weight. Both on Ebay, Solar panel pole mount/holds 6 large panels/fits a 6" pipe, Adjustable bracket for 399.00 dollars or the other is Universal solar panel pole mount kit, holds 2 large panels/fits a 2" pipe for 150.00 dollars. Hope this helps you out. My email direct is shortiesfather@gmail.com if you have any further questions..Good Luck, Brian

We attached it between the roof of the house and the roof of the garage using hooks that screwed into the eaves. The area worked out perfectly and we really like the shade. No equipment necessary other than 4 screw hooks and some muscle.

I don't know if this would work. Ours is set at a very low distance and doesn't go off until the dog is right on it, so it might work. If you just needed one section of it, you could twist the wires on the rest of the circle and have just one area be live

The large slot is designed to allow the weight to go around the leg of the canopy. It never occurred to me what the small holes may be for. They seem awfully small for stakes, but you could get a cord through them. I personally do not use the tie-down cords that came with my canopy because there is nothing to secure them to where I usually use the canopy (an open field). I just place the weights around each leg, & ensure the slots are not all facing the same direction. This holds the canopy in place in light wind conditions.

Definitely, This could be attached to chain link using either velcro strips or with pliable metal strips that could hook one to the other. You won't have much privacy though until you get something growing on it. This is a great trellis - well worth the $$, sturdy and quite large.

Yes as long as you have somewhere on each end to mount it or it will sag. If you are using the fence in grass or dirt get 1 an a 1/4 PVC pipe and cut them twelve inches long and use them in the ground for the provided selves to fit into. I used this for my dogs and it works great.
